We are back with a new challenge at Addicted to CAS . The code word for this week is GRUNGE and the challenge is being hosted by our very talented Kylie. I would like to welcome our talented and sweet Guest Designer Anita to join us again with her amazing CAS creations. You can see her projects by clicking here, My Papercraft World

When I saw the code... a miss u card immediately clicked my head :) So here's my card...

To make this card, I stamped the ink pad on the card base and twisted it a bit. Then I added the stars with a modeling paste using a stencil. Finally, I fuzzy cut a triangle n a square to create my Christmas tree n gift box I was inspired by the Colors at Color me #17 and I will also link it up at Word Art Wednesday #129 - Anything Goes!

Our DT has come up with some amazing projects this week. Pop over to our ATCAS challenge blog here and take a peek. I am looking forward to the challenge this fortnight and am very excited to visit your blogs.

Have fun in creating CAS card :) and thank you for visiting my blog n leaving me a comment.

Hi friends!! I am back with two cards. As the title says... a lot of thought went into making these and when I have my ideas in place, I finish the card very quickly and usually the way I had imagined :) Yesterday at the grocery store I came across these herb bags and at that very moment an idea clicked....

To make this card, I created a paper bag by cutting n scoring a kraft card stock, made some stripes by masking n inking. Adhered the label n did some stamping. The herbs are the tree dies from CAS-ual Friday's. Finally, attached all the elements on the card base as per the sketch

To make this card, I simply hand drew the umbrella on a card stock with the size same as the width of the card base, colored n fuzzy cut it. Adhered it with some foam dots to add dimension. Embossed the sentiment. Also, entering this to Simon Says Wednesday Challenge - Keep it clean n simple

Hello friends!! time for another Fusion :) I hope you had fun playing along in our last challenge :) Now let us see how will you interpret our this challenge !! This Fusion is both graphic, trendy and colorful :)

FUSION is a very interesting, it gives us a photo and a sketch, so possibilities are endless with the freedom given in the challenge. You can just work with the sketch or just photo but in my case as usual. I Fused the two.

For my card, I did some distress inking and masking, followed by heat embossing and layering with the balloon dies from Li'l Inkers that my husband recently surprised me with :). I want to enter this card to the following challenges -

We are back with another favorite challenge at Addicted to stamps and more... MAKE YOUR MARK. This is a challenge that requires you to use Markers, Pencils, Pens, Chalks, Crayons etc. If it writes or colours - use it! I am sure you love coloring as much as I do :)

For the first time I decided to use a digital image for my card :) The Digital Images from A Random Fan are amazingly adorable and attractive and I just couldn't resist using one of these, also my sweet teamie Deborah motivated me to try coloring the digital images :) Thanks to her, I did try!! To make the card, I printed, colored and fuzzy cut the image for my card. The banner was stamped and colored using Recollections stamp :)

Hi friends!! at Create Something Catchy Challenge Blog, we have this monthly feature called the T - time where T refers to the Technique or Tip. All the Design team members will share some technique or tip with you :) This time it's my turn and I am sharing a water coloring technique. Here's a peek into my project...

I thought since water coloring is a hot trend why not share some fun techniques that you might enjoy. This is a photo tutorial... well !! I was unsuccessful with the video :( But hopefully next time will be up with a video for you guys :)

I am back again, I know I am posting almost everyday and maybe you get a little bored visiting my blog :) But as you might know when you get the right idea and everything seem to work on that idea, u can't do anything but to execute ;) LOL. These cards are a result of such a situation :) So, here's the first one...

You have no clue how excited I am while writing this post. When I got an email from Jennifer Rzasa inviting me for a Guest Design at "The Runway Inspired challenge"... I almost jumped and this happened a few months ago. It was so difficult to hold this news from all of you. The Runway inspired challenge is one of a kind challenge blog with a very unique set of amazing artists on their team and to be making a card with them is kinda awesome :) Thank you so much Jen :)

Also, this challenge is special in a way that RIC and CAS(E) this sketch challenge blog have joined forces :) So let me show you what a created combining both the challenges...

This pic was taken yesterday in sunlight - captures the colors perfectly

This pic was taken inside my craft room

I used alcohol inks on a glossy paper (sent by a sweet friend) to stamp the flowers, leaves and fuzzy cut them and I used some washi tape to create my semi circle. Hope you like my card. Be sure to play along with RIC and CTS this time.
